Wildlife Management.
Hunting can be an important tool for managing wildlife resources. Hunting gives resource managers a valuable tool to control populations of some species that might otherwise exceed the carrying capacity of their habitat and threaten the well-being of other wildlife species, and in some instances, that of human health and safety. Hunting reduces the annual crop of new animals and birds to allow the remaining animals sufficient food and shelter to survive. Some environmentalists assert that culling can lead to an increase in population of predator animals or that introducing appropriate predator animals would achieve the same benefit with more efficiency and less environmental impact, but some livestock owners disagree, seeing human killing as more explicitly selective. For science on this topic see: Aldo Leopold. An example of using hunters in wildlife management can be found in the "Snow, Blue and Ross' Goose Conservation Order 2005."
The Conservation Order allows hunters, after all other waterfowl seasons are closed, to shoot an unlimited number of these species of geese. The reason for the Conservation Order is that these species have grown so numerous that they are destroying the Arctic environment which many species of animals use as breeding grounds. Animal management authorities sometimes rely on hunting to control certain animal populations. These hunts are sometimes carried out by professional hunters although other hunts include amateurs. Overpopulations of deer in urban parks might be hunted by animal management authorities. In some cases, particularly in the American East, populations of deer have risen to such environmentally destructive levels that organizations such as the Audubon Society have called for increased hunting to prevent environmental degradation.

Moose Facts.
The moose is the largest member of the deer family. It is larger than any deer that lived in past ages. The largest moose live in Alaska. Sometimes they grow seven and one half feet high at the shoulder and weigh fifteen to eighteen hundred pounds. Moose make their homes in the Northern Hemisphere all around the world. In the Old World, they live from northern Scandinavia and northern Germany through Siberia to Amurland. Their American home takes in the region from Maine to Alaska and south through the Ricky Mountains to Wyoming. Outside of America, these animals are not called moose, but elk. The moose has long legs and a hump over the shoulder. The upper part of the moose’s muzzle hangs three or four inches over the chin. An unusual growth of skin covered with hair, called the bell, hangs underneath its throat. The coat is brownish black on the upper parts. This dark color fades to a grayish brown on the belly and lower legs.
The bull moose has very heavy flattened antlers. Each antler has six to twelve short points which stick out like fingers from the palm of a huge hand. A moose sheds its antlers every year and grows a new pair. The antlers are full grown by late August. The bull then strips off the dead skin, called velvet and polishes his great weapons against trees. Baby moose are born in late May or June. They are carried inside the mother for about seven and one half months before they are born. A cow may have one calf or twins. The calf is reddish brown without spots and has long legs. After the first few weeks it is strong enough to travel around with its mother. Moose like to live in forest land that has willow swamps and lakes. Here the animals spend the summer and the cows care for their young. They visit the water to get rid of flies and feed on water plants. Moose are fine swimmers and do not hesitate to cross lakes and rivers. In the summer their food includes leaves and tender twigs as well as grass and herbs.
